Perio Protect® in Pennsylvania

In the past, surgery has been the typical treatment for periodontal disease, but invasive surgery left open wounds that could become infected, which often exacerbated the problem rather than fixing it. Fortunately, a new procedure call Perio Protect^® can remove periodontal disease without subjecting the delicate gums and mouth tissues to further trauma.

What Type of Treatment Is Perio Protect?

Perio Protect is an innovative new procedure that’s fully customizable for the patient’s needs, and it’s among the best treatments available for treating periodontal disease. It’s not invasive and doesn’t remove any gum tissue. It’s convenient and easy to use.

A Perio treatment uses custom-fitted trays to deliver a 1.7 percent solution of hydrogen peroxide deep into the periodontal pockets in order to achieve the best Perio Protect results possible. In addition to removing the plaque buildup that’s associated with periodontal disease, Perio Protect treatments also cleanse the breath and the gums so that the mouth feels fresher.

At present, there’s no cure for periodontal disease so prevention is the best alternative. The Perio Protect procedure is used at home, making it convenient and easy to use. Perio Protect reviews indicate a high level of satisfaction with this innovative treatment regimen that eliminates existing plaque and prevents most recurrence.

Does The Treatment for Perio Protect Take a Long Time?

The longest amount of time spent on the Perio procedure will be at the initial office visit to measure for the trays and determine the treatment regimen you need. Your dentist will make an impression of your teeth during your initial visit, and that impression will be used to fabricate your trays. You’ll fill them with the hydrogen peroxide solution and wear them according to the schedule your dentist provides—it’s best to adhere to the schedule in order to achieve the best Perio results possible.

What Benefits Will I Receive from My Perio Protect Treatments?

Perio Protect reviews provided by patients indicate that their mouths feel cleaner, their gums are healthier, and they feel like they have improved their overall health. The Perio procedure is simple, convenient, easy to use, and fast. Each treatment takes only 10 to 15 minutes, so patients can schedule their treatments according to their lifestyle and time constraints.

Since the health of your gums affects your overall health, including your vital organs, it’s important to keep your gums clean and healthy. The Perio method of controlling periodontal disease removes up to 90 percent of pathogens that can be deleterious to your overall good health.

The trays and the solution used in the Perio method are similar to the whitening trays used by cosmetic dentists, so in addition to having a cleaner mouth, you’ll have whiter teeth. For more information about Perio Protect in Pennsylvania, call our office today.
